chocolate - orange eclair

Eclairs are one of those desserts that make most people''s hair curl. True, they are difficult to prepare and require a little more experience and skill, but they are definitely worth the effort. The biggest difficulty lies in the preparation of the pastry, as it takes practice to get a feel for the appropriate density of the mixture. If the dough is left to proof for less time, the dough will need fewer eggs than the recipe states, and vice versa.

The eclairs consist of a milk ganache with orange liqueur and BAM orange chocolate, which has a wonderful orange flavour.

The recipe for chocolate-orange eclairs is part of the third BAM recipe book - Modern Desserts.

Ingredients:

  • 75 g of water
  • 40 g butter
  • 0,5 g salt
  • 45 g plain flour
  • 75 g eggs
  • powdered sugar for sprinkling

Instructions:

1
Bring the cream and liqueur to the boil and pour over the chocolate. Wait 1 minute, then stir slowly with a spatula to melt the chocolate. Cover the ganache with plastic food wrap so that it is touch- able. Cool to room temperature, then place in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
1
Preheat the oven to 170 °C. Bring the water, butter and salt to the boil. Remove from the heat and stir in all the sifted flour at the same time with a spatula or a rolling pin. Mix to a soft dough without lumps, bring to the boil and cook for a good minute over a medium heat, stirring. Transfer the dough to a plastic container and cool.
2
Gradually add the beaten eggs to the cooled dough and mix to form a smooth, shiny dough - the dough must be perfectly smooth, not too thick or too runny, but must hold its shape. Stuff the dough into a piping bag fitted with a 13 mm diameter French nozzle. Make sure that there is no air in the dough.
3
Pipe 8 eclairs onto the silicone base - the mixture should be evenly spread. Dip a finger in cold water and smooth the tops of the dough, then sprinkle the dough generously with icing sugar. Bake for 30 minutes (do not open the oven in between), then quickly remove the baking tray, prick each eclair with a toothpick and bake for about 10 minutes more. Remove the baked eclairs from the baking tray and cool completely on a wire rack.
1
Once the dough is chilled and the ganache is compact enough, fill the eclairs. Using a small round spout, make two or three holes in the bottom of each eclair. Stuff the ganache into a piping bag and fill the eclairs. Place them on a flat surface and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
1
Melt the orange chocolate with the cocoa butter.
2
Pour the glaze into a deep dish or container slightly wider than the length of the eclairs. Dip them, top down, in the chocolate coating and decorate as desired.
